The Tax Division: 2007 distinguished service award.

At its annual Spring Tax Division meeting in Denver on June 4, the AICPA Tax Division's Tax Executive Committee bestowed its Tax Section Distinguished Service Award for 2007 on Justin P. Ransome, a partner in the National Tax Office of Grant Thornton LLP in Washington, DC.

Mr. Ransome chairs the AICPA Tax Division's Tax Strategy Patent Task Force (PTF) and vice chairs the AICPA Tax Division's Trust, Estate & Gift Tax Technical Resource Panel (TRP). He is a frequent contributor to The Tax Adviser.

Note from the Editors

Over the past few issues, you may have noticed some changes on the masthead of The Tax Adviser. We have moved--along with much of the AICPA's operation--to new offices in Durham, North Carolina. With the move hove come new staff: a new editor-in-chief, Alistair Nevius; a new managing editor, Nancy Grandieon; a new technical editor, Jim Beavers; and Shirley Senior and Alida Ziyambe, administrative assistants. Our aim is to maintain the high quality of The Tax Adviser throughout this transition and going forward. We thank the former editors, Lesli Laffie, David O'Driscoll, and Nick flare, for their tireless efforts in guiding The Tax Adviser over the post few years and for their gracious help during the transition.
